You're a Pipe Dream

oblivious neil/jealous andrew but it's not just andrew who gets jealous. all the foxes see some guy flirting with neil, and every single one of them immediately starts to intervene because hey wtf you can't do that! that's neil! neil is andrew's! this cannot happen it is preposterous get away from him!!???

If AFTG took place in modern times I think that bee would’ve given Andrew a needoh especially with how much he fidgets

The first time Andrew manages to make Neil become loud, it's a bit of a shock, they're both pretty quiet and haven't really had to lower the volume of themselves before, but Andrew does something Neil's never experienced before and it pulls a loud moan or even a squeal from him which sends them both quiet with wide eyes before Andrews lips twitch and he does it again

we talk a lot about how much of a revelation andrew’s confession is for neil, and not enough about how revelatory neil’s reaction is for andrew. because like. imagine you like this boy. but he doesn’t swing. you know the answer would be “no,” so there’s no point in even asking. then he goes and gets himself needlessly tortured for you, and tells you there’s no amount of suffering he wouldn’t endure for you. not because he thinks you’re weak, but because he thinks you’re worth protecting. he says things that you would interpret as advances if it were literally anyone else. you remind yourself that he doesn’t swing. now you’re at eden’s and he’s asking about your feelings for him in 12 different ways. he really wants to know. so you tell him, in the most casual and crass way you can, thinking that’ll put an end to it. but unfathomably, it doesn’t. he asks you why you didn’t tell him. why would you have? it would have been a “no.” you say that, and instead of confirming it, he just echoes your words, clearly still reeling. you start to leave, and he tells you that he wants to keep playing your game. while the absence of a “no” is obviously not the same thing as a “yes,” you’ve been operating for months and months under the assumption that the answer would be unequivocal. so you keep waiting for that answer, but it never comes. for the first time since you met him, you wonder if maybe it’s not a “no” after all. if maybe you could have this. you can’t remember the last time you were able to have something you wanted. the world tilting on its axis, indeed.

Neil noticing Jean was into Renee after a few brief moments at the banquet I know Andrew was sick oh that you noticed but when I, Andrew Minyard….

Andrew, who spent half his life being told that with his aggressive, antisocial behavior he’d either end up dead young or get himself killed in some spectacularly stupid way unless he got his act together, watches as all the Foxes die, and he outlives every one of them: Suck it.

andrew talks to babies like they're full grown adults and neil is afraid to be around babies at all and kevin thinks babies look at him weird and judge him but he's actually pretty good with them

thinking about andrew saying 'i dont trust them to give you back' to neil during the baltimore reunion and then thinking about jean saying 'i wouldnt have given him to you if id known you would just throw him away so carelessly' to andrew in california. the jeandreil dynamic is actually insane i cant. i Cant.
